Without checking stats I will guess Shami has succeeded in a greater variety of conditions. Now I will check stats.

Shami has average of 32 or above in each of Australia, NZ, England; particularly bad in last of those 3. Has ATG level numbers in all other countries. In subcontinent (India and SL both) he is ridiculously good.

Overall, more rounded than Starc.

Shami. Starc has the raw gifts so he can bully modest players of pace on any pitch, but he's not the most intelligent or accurate bowler and that shows when he comes up against the top players. Good bowler but very statpaddy record.
